Are you addicted to buying luggage too?
As Wendy will tell you, I’m a luggage buying addict and can’t pass the window of a shop selling it without looking inside.
Well, not so much a buying addict, more a luggage browsing addict as I’m always looking for the “perfect” case. I do travel reasonably often so it makes some sense to look around for good cases and, of course, the differing regulations on airlines means that it’s handy to have a selection.
But what’s “perfect”? Well, carry-on is the way to go these days as the weight limits have largely gone and it avoids both the queues at baggage collection and the often exorbitant checked baggage charges you find these days. Handy too is a bag that fits into another one I find as I quite frequently end up bringing more back than I take away. Finally, there’s juniors 1 & 2 who like to have their own case.
Oh, and let’s not forget that with the high weight limits on hand luggage these days it’s a pain to carry the cases so wheeled is the way to go to.
Funnily enough the best case that I’ve found to date is by far the cheapest: all of EUR 3.50 for a case that is right up to the size limits for flights, light and no junk inside to fill up the space before you start. I wish I’d bought a couple more of them whist the offer was still on!
